Average swap size is computed as 24h attributed volume divided by 24h attributed trade count from Mobula lighthouse. Both numerator and denominator include bot and MEV activity; the metric reflects all on-chain swaps attributed to each platform, not human-only trades. pump.fun volume comes from the byLaunchpad bucket (bonding-curve swaps via pump.fun's own frontend); all other platforms come from byPlatform. Attribution is mutually exclusive per Mobula's referral-tag methodology.

How this pair was selected

Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing — panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
